A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

2 To what purpose are Magistrates, if every man may be his own judge? Thou mayest complain to the deputy, not with thine own hands punish the injury.^f If a man have matter against another, the Law is open, and there are deputies; let them implead one another. Sic certent causae, ut non certent pectora; Let mens causes fight a while, that their souls may be in peace for ever. There is utterly a fault among you, that ye go to law one with another, 1 Cor. 6.7. That is a fault: but some so abuse the Law, that Quae datur in conpensationem injuriae, vertitur in injuriam: That which should redress wrong and mischief, is perverted to be the greatest wrong and mischief. Whom their hands dare not strike with blows, their purses shall vex with suits. We may say of such Citizens, as it was of some Popes; they are not Urbani, but Turbani.
